Seeing that Chen Zi'ang responded so fiercely, Li Tong also felt his strong desire to gain recognition.

It is no wonder that aside from the current political encounters, although Chen Zi'ang played an important position in the entire Tang Dynasty literary history, this position was not established in his lifetime.

Whether a person is awesome or not does not count on whether he says it. In the early Tang Dynasty, poetry praised the Song Dynasty, while literature was dominated by Su and Li. Compared with these mainstream literati, Chen Zi'ang was more like a marginal person who was away from the mainstream circle, and all he could get was the recognition of a small circle.

Take poetry alone, Chen Zi'ang's thirty-eight poems "Seeing and Encountering" can be said to be a unique existence in the entire early Tang poetry world. As Li Tong said, the words are profound and ancient. In other words, the writing is really not beautiful enough. Although it is not well passed down from generation to generation, it greatly expands the theme, style and artistic conception of early Tang poetry.

The poetry style of the early Tang Dynasty was deeply inherited from the complexity of the Qi and Liang dynasties, and there was almost no character to praise. Although the poets of the early Tang Dynasty, led by the four sons of the early Tang Dynasty, each had their own explorations, they were not as far away as Chen Zi'ang, a Sichuan man. Or in other words, Chen Zi'ang did not complete it in the mainstream cultural circle since the beginning of his enlightenment and employment, so when he appeared, he immediately gave people a refreshing feeling.

If you have a little bit of knowledge about poetry and prose in the early Tang Dynasty, you can clearly feel that Chen Zi'ang is simply a lone knight in the field of poetry and prose, and he created a new world with his talent. His poems led to Li Du, his writings were published in Han and Liu, and Li Tong's claim to be a precedent for his generation is indeed not an exaggeration.

Li Tong, a great literary thief, was already highly praised in the world and had close interactions with the current cultural circles. Li Jiao, Shen Qi, was his old friend, and Su Weidao was even more directly on duty. As for Zhang Shuo, who praised Yan Xu's big money in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, this little trick was even more sloppy because of his good social skills and went in and out of his disciples.

Even so, his expectation for Chen Zi'ang remains undiminished, just because Chen Zi'ang does have an irreplaceable status. There is a bold and creative atmosphere between the lines of Chen Zi'ang's poems, which is beyond the reach of others.

However, this style and character may not be recognized by the ruler. Li Tong still remembers that even Wu Zetian, who promoted Chen Zi'ang to appreciate and promote him, wanted to summon Chen Zi'ang into the mansion. His grandmother's evaluation of Chen Zi'ang was that the Shu people were very enthusiastic and could not bear to be friends.

Now that Li Tong is the leader of the family, he naturally has less scruples in selecting people. But in fact, even he himself admires Chen Zi'ang only by his personal emotions, and he will not be able to teach his ability just because he loves his poems and essays.

Qiao Zhizhi saw that King Yong's evaluation of Chen Zi'ang was so positive, and his appreciation was beyond words. He was also happy for his friends. He hurriedly said: "What Chen Boyu calls him is not only poetry, but also political and affairs, but also has a lot of insights. In the past, he was in charge of military affairs and had no great marks to be praised, but he was rewarded and he did not lose money."

Li Tong nodded after hearing this, but said, "It's a pity that Chen Boyu was convicted for his words. However, he was in power in Shaanxi and was not a country that could be transformed into other countries. Although he had the responsibility to pick up the remains and make up for the shortcomings, he did not dare to go against the emperor's orders by envoys."

After hearing this, Chen Zi'ang bowed and bowed again: "Zi'ang is talented, aloof and unelegant person, and can be praised for his words. He is grateful to him. He dare not rely on this mistake and instead fall into his unrighteousness. He can obtain a tiled body of five feet, but he dare not submit his official title to his arms."

His Majesty the Emperor of Shendu’s judgment on Chen Zi'ang was so serious that it reached the point of public attention, so that Li Tong had to be a little taboo. Although the characters of each other are not circulated, the court does not have a suitable excuse to prohibit civil exchanges.

But if Li Tong did not take advantage of the person by Emperor's criticism of Chen Zi'ang, this would be a public provocation. With this alone, many encirclement strategies that the court could not have been made public could be directly promulgated to ban the orders, or even directly intervened in the personnel appointments of Xingtai.

Li Tong naturally would not take such risks. He was quite satisfied with Chen Zi'ang's statement, so he smiled and said, "The Tang family has established a strong career, and the four extremes of the world are not enough to have a talented person. If he really wants to donate, he will hand the calendar to the business station to the business station for admission."

After hearing this, Chen Zi'ang was overjoyed again and repeatedly thanked His Highness Yong for his gratitude for meeting and resolving the misfortune.

After talking about this matter, the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Before I knew it, it was getting late.

If there were no special circumstances, Li Tong would basically not stay outside. Seeing that it was getting late, Yu apologized to Li Qianli in the table and arranged for Qiao Zhizhi to be responsible for entertaining him in the next few days, and then stood up to say goodbye.

In the next few days, under Qiao Zhizhi's arrangement, Li Qianli's schedule was full, either watching operas in Qujiangchi or listening to music in Pingkangfang, which was quite a state of being happy to go home.

The tribute and taxes of the prefectures and counties in Shaanxi Road were definitely a huge amount of wealth. The court never forgets to send people to ask for it, so it is impossible for Li Qianli to just let him go. But under the arrangement of Xingtai, Li Qianli wandered happily in Chang'an City every day, completely leaving this matter behind, and almost all the subordinates could not find him.

Even if the officials are in contact with Xingtai, you can imagine what Xingtai's attitude towards this is just perfunctory. Even the serious officials cannot even see the official, so the matter of tribute and tax replenishment is naturally even more impossible to talk about.

If the tasks assigned by the court cannot be completed, these people will naturally be scolded or even demoted after returning to the capital.

Li Qianli was naturally fearless about this. His experience in the court has now fallen to the bottom and there is almost no room for decline. Otherwise, he would not have proposed plans to welcome King Yong back to King Luling as soon as he entered the capital. Even if he returns without success this time, he would never have been able to continue to rest in his spare time.

The emperor now treats his relatives preferentially to show kindness. Li Qianli is close to him in the sect. As long as there is no conclusive crime of treason, the emperor will not be able to directly punish him. Now that he has set a stance with King Yong, he will be even more willing to do so. If he doesn't want to live in Xijing, it will be a big deal.

Li Qianli had the confidence to give up, but the officials and servants who followed him to Xijing did not.

Before the emperor left the palace, he was known for his kindness and forgiveness, but as he was in power, his actions were very contrary to the previous voices.

The most obvious is the experience of former prime ministers such as Li Zhaode and Wei Yuanzhong. When purged officials related to King Yong, the determination of the king showed was even more daunting. A large number of officials were demoted for no reason, but Xu Junchen, who was originally a cruel official in Wuzhou, could still enjoy the gratitude.

It can be imagined that they returned without success this time. To put it in a small way, the court would scold them for being unfavorable. To put it in a big way, they might suspect that they secretly communicated with Xingtai, conspired to perfunctory the court, and even wanted to go to Luoyang to push the court.

Therefore, it is conceivable that these people are anxious.

However, no matter how these people are in their mood, the conduct of the Taiwan Strait has its own rules of conduct and will not be polite to their respective futures and safety.

After the Shangsi Festival, Li Tong made a special trip to receive Li Qianli, and then returned to Xingtai to busy with government affairs. In addition to basic military and political affairs, Xingtai also has a relatively important task, which is to recruit as many scholars from Shendu to Chang'an as possible.

Although the framework of Xingtai is complete, the more talented people are naturally better. Especially last year's winter selection, the court did not include the number of officials from Shaanxi Provinces and counties in the list of supplementary selections.

This is not because the court is stingy, but just to avoid many personnel disputes with Xingtai. After all, on the eve of the election, the Empress Dowager stretched out her legs, which made the court and the public be vigilant. She really didn't want to make any more troubles.

Although the personnel rights of Xingtai have increased significantly, the corresponding talent selection methods are difficult to match, and there is no major improvement.

Moreover, the prefectures and counties under Shaanxi Dao have complex people's conditions, and there are still many border states. Anyone hired and appointed officials will have higher requirements, not just politics. If you really encounter foreign enemies invasion, or the Hu people make trouble, you may even need to fight in armor.

At present, the number of officials in the prefectures and counties in Shaanxi Province has reached as many as 100. In the future, some detained prefectures will be gradually banned and formal prefectures will be established to establish household registration jurisdictions. The talent gap is already huge, and the talent reserve requirements are also not low.

Therefore, in recent times, Li Tong, including some officials from Taiwan, has been discussing this recently. Taiwan is not like the court, with a complete charter and organization for selecting officials, nor does it have the major talent selection plan like the imperial examination that can replenish fresh blood on a large scale. Just relying on the recommendation of the recruitment and officials in charge of office are far from enough to make up for this gap.

In recent times, there have been many electors from God to Chang'an. But how many of them are interested in joining Xingtai, and how can those with such intentions judge the only ones are judged?

If you want to admit qualified talents on a large scale, the exam is the most fair and convincing way. Although the court has selected candidates, imperial examinations for juren, and also has a system for all scholars. However, there are no loopholes in this regard, and it is just a separate title.

The question I am facing now is, how many people are interested in taking the talent examination held by the Taiwan Strait? This question seems simple, but it is very complicated to figure it out. It does not mean that I must have the idea of ​​joining the Taiwan Strait when I arrived in Chang'an.

If the Taiwan and Taiwan rashly hold the election, the number of candidates will not be as expected, and the level of selected talents is not guaranteed, once they are rashly responsibilities, it will be exhausting.

The second one directly shows whether the recognition of the Taiwan-Taiwan among the scholars is high or low. If the number of candidates is too small, the disobedience of the scholars' hearts will be clearly visible. This will have a great negative impact on the development of the Taiwan-Taiwan and will also leave no room for the court to deal with the affairs of the Taiwan-Taiwan.

Therefore, the main issue that Li Tong discussed with his subordinates during this period is how to conduct a poll without showing any expression, or to strengthen scholars' sense of identity with the Taiwan Strait through some events, and have a clear mind, and then hold a new student selection.

Originally, Chen Zi'ang's reputation was not low and his fate was bizarre, but because it was too bizarre, it was not easy to promote it as a proposition of King Yong Ai Cai.

Early in the morning of that day, Li Tong left the royal residence from below and returned to the platform under the arch of his personal soldiers. However, when he passed by the Ministry of Revenue, Daozuo suddenly rushed out and came straight towards them.

"Stop the person coming!"

Guo Da, the personal guard who was close to him, saw that the person coming was a strange face, and he yelled angrily. The other guards also showed their own blades and protected King Yong.
